Have you had your JOY JUICE today? It’s a gift from God and it would be very wise of you to drink it faithfully!
My Bible commentary says that wisdom comes in two ways: it is a God-given gift and also the result of an energetic search. Wisdom’s starting point is God and his revealed Word. In that sense, it’s his gift to us. But he gives it only to those who earnestly seek it. Because God’s wisdom is hidden from the rebellious and foolish, it takes effort to find it and use it. The pathway to wisdom is strenuous. When we are on the path, we discover that true wisdom is God’s and that he will guide us and reward our sincere &persistent search.
Oh, WISDOM.....Where art thou?
Are you earnestly seeking the wisdom that only He can give? Proverbs reminds us that there are many benefits to wisdom….to name a few: favor with God and people, reputation for good judgment; success; protection, honor, justice, constant learning and understanding.
Proverbs 3:13-15 says: Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.
When we get the end of our life here on earth, truly it will NOT be important how much wealth we’ve amassed, nor how successful a career we’ve had or how many awards are hanging on our wall. True JOY will come with the wisdom of knowing Him and being able to praise Him throughout eternity.
Pursue wisdom by accepting the JOY of the Lord and sharing Him with others.
